and says, “good morning” to his wife and kids, and after breakfast he arrives at work around seven-thirty. he works at a small
store called supersave supermarket. it's located in new york. after work, he says, “good-bye” to his boss, mr. smith, and then
goes home. on weekends, he likes to play with his son, thomas, and his daughter, barbara. Maybe john’s routine really is a
little boring, but he enjoys it!
